Abstract
Surgical management of macular holes involves removal of tractional prefovial vitreous cortex. Accurately identifying this adherent tissue can potentially decrease intraoperative complications. A new, effective technique using autologous whole blood can be used to identify and facilitate separation of the posterior cortical vitreous.
